Oh I guess they’ll never know…. I always thought that was a dumb song. Of course “they” know.

Not if they were like me, I never knew.

Not really. At 65 I’ve been STILL trying to make a go of a relationship that began in the 6th grade with the girl that became my 1st wife. I’m just beginning to accept that her various physical and emotional problems make it impossible for us to have a healthy relationship, but that crush still remains.

I have fond memories of them, but the actual crushes are long gone.

Outgrown? You mean do I understand that she must certainly no longer “fit” me? Yes I at least suspect as much.

Have I outgrown a crush?
No. I still have feelings for everyone I cared for. #NoCure.

I was never crushed. My shrink said I was emotionally detached. What?
I just blame my father! Yes I do.

I’ve moved on. Right now my current crush is Austin Butler who played Elvis in the movie. Do you think he’s into old ladies?

@janbb Yes, I’m certain he is!

@chyna I don’t mind sharing him.

@rebbel Thanks for the clarification. Thought I had read online somewhere that she had passed on a few years ago.

Austin is in to “old ladies”, but not in to threesomes.

@rebbel I wasn’t planning for at the same time. Do you think I’m kinky?

Second question: how do you have that information???

Bobby Sherman? Well, I still think he was cute, and his photo brings back sweet memories of my first crush.

Veronica Lake was my first celebrity crush when “I Married a Witch” was broadcast in the UK in 1958. I watched the film a few years back on YouTube and I was disappointed when the spell she had cast over me didn’t work anymore.

Yes. I wiped my hands clean of Scott Baio and Ricky Schroder once they fell down the Trump hole.

He was only cool to un-cool people, which excluded my friends. 8D

How did you meet him @WhyNow?

Dutchess_III (46811

^A figure of speech. I saw him for the first time in that movie… and then
looked him up and listened to his music. Met him… an old south expression
I picked up listening to Delta Blues music.

A great track! An ode to the 70’s I’m guessing.
